[Slough for Europe 🇪🇺 💙 🇺🇦 @SloughForEU]

@muggedbyBrexit There was a great piece on this from @jonworth on the latest @CakeWatchCast.
I'd recommend anyone wanting to make sense of tactical voting listens to it.

[Mr Otmoor @OtmoorMr]

Good point by @jonworth on @CakeWatchCast.

Our options are a hung parliament or a Tory majority. Other outcomes won’t happen.

A hung Parliament will
- Last 1 year
- Prevent a crash out Brexit
- Be driven by moderates
- Prevent a charlatan PM getting a maj

Make it happen here👇

[#NoMoreUnelectedPMs #GeneralElectionNOW! @VeryReasonableP]

Excellent podcast this week from @CakeWatchCast hosted by @ottocrat with the very sensible @jonworth discussing tactical voting and other things. Explains methodology, dismantles conspiracy theories and helps us make an informed choice we can be comfortable with. Listen & share!

My dossier of the lies, falsehoods and misrepresentations of Boris Johnson and his government is now published: https://t.co/tfVKwlWx1d

[Hilary Benn @hilarybennmp]

There are now at least three different versions of Brexit. Theresa May’s deal, Boris Johnson’s deal and Nigel Farage’s ideal deal. When those who support Brexit can’t even agree on what it means, going back to the people to give them the final say seems rather sensible.

[Brendan May @bmay]

Can’t really express the unfettered pure joy watching this again.

Let’s put that flag back where it belongs, shall we?! #StopBrexit

[🇪🇺 North East 4 Europe #FBPE @NE4EU]

Response to the many messages re Q Time in S Shields last night. The prog is a set up - 30 of us tried to get on last time + were declined. We do stalls all the time here + know there are many lovely people who support remain here - why else would they have their v own EU shop?

[Steve Barclay @SteveBarclay]

It is impossible to ban cruel live animal exports while we remain in the EU.

We’re working to #GetBrexitDone so we can get on with the job of protecting animal welfare once we leave the EU. - @cmackinlay

[CakeWatch Podcast @CakeWatchCast]

But there will (if all goes to plan) be a Cakewatch this week, with @mediawhizz returning as co-host with @ottocrat to take stock of the chaos as Brits in Brussels. Get well soon Steve!

[Tim McCann @mccanntb]

So sick of this shit.

"The 50-year-old, who has worked as a ministerial advisor in Oman and now runs a street food stall in Manchester, said the men screamed 'speak f***ing English' at the victim as they punched him and stamped on him." https://t.co/PP1wxB3zwI

[Philip Hammond @PhilipHammondUK]

Sorry Matt, I’m afraid the Conservative Party has been taken over by unelected advisors, entryists and usurpers who are trying to turn it from a broad church into an extreme right-wing faction. Sadly, it is not the party I joined.

[Edward Luce @EdwardGLuce]

No one should have the slightest doubt that Trump-Pence are trying to kill the European Union - and that Putin is the chief beneficiary.

[Chris Grey 🇺🇦 @chrisgreybrexit]

In a sane world, a mid-term installed PM of a minority govt who had lost VONC, with his MPs, parliament and country bitterly divided, would not even *consider* pushing on with most extreme version of complete re-set of UK policy based on a close Ref result three years ago. 2/2

[Chris Grey 🇺🇦 @chrisgreybrexit]

Insufficient attention being given, IMO, to fact that whole 'caretaker govt' idea arises because of Johnson's threat that in event of VONC he would refuse to do 'the honourable thing' and seek A50 extension to allow GE, and Sedwill's ambiguous position on this possibility. 1/2

[Dmitry Grozoubinski @DmitryOpines]

I don't know who needs to hear this but I begin every class on trade negotiations by begging those gathered to believe me when I say they are nothing like:

1. Poker;
2. High school debate; or
3. Buying a used car.
